relay

Usage Note

Relevo primarily means the act of relieving or replacing someone — a shift change, a relief soldier, or a relay race (carrera de relevos). In sports it refers to a relay team or a substitute. Do not confuse it with alivio (emotional or physical relief from pain or stress) — relevo is about substitution, not comfort.

Examples

"El relevo llegó puntualmente al puesto."

Natural Translation

The relief arrived at the post on time.
